NW is one of the better hitting teams in the conference this year, and for the most part, we held them down. We had to have this game and the series since Neb had already completed their sweep of PSU today, and Mich is leading Minnesota 3-2 in the 4th of their game and they are going for the sweep. We have a big opportunity to help our cause next weekend with a three-game series at home against bottom dweller Minnesota.
 
After watching every pitch yesterday, I missed today's action. Maybe I should do that more often. :) Sounds like the pitching was solid today. Glad we got the series.
